Natural Fibers We Use

 

Our commitment to sourcing natural and sustainable materials, combined with the artistry of handmade craftsmanship, ensures that every product is a testament to our dedication to excellence. As you rest upon or enjoy our creations, you can trust that the essence of quality and care is woven into each fiber, contributing to an experience that goes beyond mere functionality—embracing the artistry of comfort.

With more than 40 years in the natural bedding industry, we've honed our expertise in finding top-quality natural fibers. We've built strong connections with vendors who share our values.

We prioritize sourcing domestically grown fibers and materials whenever possible. As a business committed to environmental values, we seek relationships with vendors who share our principles.

Cotton

We have been a sourcing cotton from the Texas Organic Cotton Marketing Cooperative for over 20 years. The cotton batting we use in our pillows is unbleached and never treated with any chemicals or fire retardants.

Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, expand biologically diverse agriculture, and prohibit the use of synthetic toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, as well as genetically engineered seed. Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers meet strict federal regulations addressing methods and materials allowed in organic production.

Wool

World Class Wool all natural wool batting showcases a cost-effective alternative for organic wool. No chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides are used in the processing of this wool. Every opportunity is taken to source this wool directly from family farms. Several different sheep breeds are used to create the wool including Dorset and Columbia.

 

Kapok

Our silky all natural kapok is imported. We make a point to use domestically sourced fibers but in this case kapok only grows in tropical regions. Kapok is the mass of silky fibers that surrounds the seeds of the kapok tree and are used as a filling for pillows. Kapok is hypoallergenic and has a similar feel to a feather pillow.

Natural Latex

Not all natural latex in created equal. Imported latex is generally lower quality compared to domestically produced latex. The latex in our mattresses comes from a family owned environmentally conscious company that produces natural latex in the United States. The FSC certified natural latex is produced with materials from responsibly managed forests and provides full transparency and traceability throughout the whole process.

Natural latex offers several outstanding advantages. This material is very elastic and flexible. It optimally supports the body during sleep. Natural latex also ensures excellent ventilation, so that surplus moisture is easily discharged. Natural latex can help repel bacteria, fungi and dust mites.

 

Buckwheat & Millet Hulls

We only use domestically sourced organic buckwheat and millet hulls in our pillows. We have been using the same midwest based supplier since we started making hull filled pillows.

Buckwheat hulls are large hulls that trap a lot of air which is then blown through the pillow when we move in our sleep. Buckwheat hulls rustle when we move. Millet hulls are tiny, they make no sound when they move and the filling feels smooth and velvety.

Millet hulls are not softer than buckwheat hulls, but they do feel more velvety because they are so tiny, round, and smooth.

All hull pillows are temperate (they do not take on heat in the summer or cold in the winter). Buckwheat hulls ventilate more easily given their large irregular shape. 

 

Zippers

All the Sachi Organics pillows feature zipper openings. This allows you to easily adjust the loft of your pillow to suite your comfort needs. We also sell all our raw materials so you can bring new life back to an older pillow or just make a pillow thicker if you wish. All natural fiber pillows will loose loft over time, instead of having to replace your pillow you can just refill it with new fresh filling. We exclusively use high quality, made in the United States, YKK Zippers.
